Domain Name Systems (DNS)
In this modern world, domain name systems (DNS) serve as the backbone of internet navigation. It is translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses. It is required for the seamless exchange of data across the web. Traditional DNS systems are centralized. This may have some problems like censorship, single points of failure, more autonomy, and vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks. Decentralized domain name systems are different from that and use blockchain technology. This decentralized principle ensures the security and censorship resistance for the web environment.
Decentralized domain name systems operate on the principles of decentralization. This is the form of distributing control and authority away from a central entity to a network of participants. In the context of DNS, decentralization enables the creation of distributed registries and resolution mechanisms that prioritize transparency and user autonomy. At the core of decentralized DNS lies blockchain technology, a distributed ledger that records transactions securely and transparently across a network of computers.
Decentralized DNS systems are resistant to censorship. Domain names and associated records are stored across multiple nodes as they operate on a decentralized system. This prevents any single authority from exerting control over domain registration. It is a freedom of expression and access to information.
By distributing domain name records across a network of nodes, decentralized DNS systems will be able to have resilience and fault tolerance. This reduces the risk of single points of stop which will ensure that the DNS infrastructure remains operational even in the face of network disruptions. Blockchain technology supports a secure and tamper-resistant record of domain name registrations and updates. Decentralized DNS systems will give priority to the user control and ownership of domain names. The system will not depend on the centralized registration process. This will improve user autonomy and reduce dependence on third-party intermediaries.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
A very nice explanation about Domain Name Systems. From which I understood many things. I hope to benefit from this in the future. thank you
Thanks for your great effort on educating us through your post on what Domain name system (DNS) is all about, am truly enlightened.
But this post is an instructive one for all of us, thanks for explaining so nicely in detail, keep it up
